*disclaimer i havent played for a year but i still know my startegies my pc got taken now i have a pc that cant play eclipsis.

Tips to win the game

Early Game

1. Connect your spawn fast and connect many four way pipes from the tank.

2. Build an arsenal and get an AR or a nade launcher

OR

2b. Build a point defense (1200 iridium) before you build anything else ( make sure you have a constant supply of iridium)

3. Build mini walls using platforms (for now) then build autofabs.

4. Build a row of of condensers at ground level at the back of the base and then stack the condensers up until you have a good supply

5. Scout the enemy and attack the weak (Make sure you got guns n stuff)

(DANGEROUS STRATEGIES)

1. You and your squad bridge to the centre as soon as the game starts (Using iridium from the crystals)

2. You then build an arsenal and connect that to a medium tank. Fill the medium tank with iridium and create weapons.

3. Scan for the enemy base and bridge to their base using a tower and then attack (THEY'RE NOT READY FOR IT)

4. WIN

4b. If there are other teams you can use that base youve taken down as a checkpoint

5. Heavily attack the other bases (REMEMBER THEY ARE SO NOT READY FOR HEAVY ATTACKS) and win the game

5b. Repeat steps 4b

Mid Game

1. Build a spatial anchor onto your base and build a few shield gens to prevent toppling (I dont recommend expanding)

2. Plan attack strategies

3a. Build a garage and make a standard attack barge

3b. Create double walls to your base and make a 2nd floor where you put down alot of arsenals(maybe 10) and prebuild cruise missiles.

3c. Maximise defense by replacing the walls with point defenses. (LATEGAME PREPARATION)

4. Create a portable building barge and (OPTIONAL) build tesla turrets under the floor outside your base to annoy enemies or (MANDATORY) go to the top of the abandoned buildings with your building barge and set a mini condenser farm up there then build a really high tower and put an iridium long range distributor (forgot the name). From now on you will have iridium in most places of the map.

5. Colonise the map using the iridium antenna

5b. Attack with heavy attack barges connected to that iridium antenna (WIN IF YOU DO IT CORRECTLY)

Late Game

1. Remember the arsenals you built? Attack the enemy base. (STRATEGY) the strategist and builder guy (me lol) will scan out for enemies and will tell the attacking guy (friend) whereabout the enemy's base is. The attacking guy will then climb to the top of the pillars and call for help (ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU BUILD PREBUILT PORTABLE BUILDER BARGES) or the attacker focus on the enemy's walls.

2a. When the barge has arrived (manned by the strategist/builder guy) the 2 players will build artilleries that faces towards the enemy's base. This will do tons of damage and 2 people means double the power. If youre solo you can go there by yourself. (WIN/ONE DOWN IF THIS WORKS PROPERLY)

2b. The attacker uses artillery to focus on one of the enemy's walls. After it breaks, the guy at the base will spam cruise missiles at the guy and its not like the normal cruise missiles you all do, it will be a barrage of cruise missiles because you built tons of arsenals. While shooting (IMPORTANT) aim for dense pipe systems or the pipe that connects the base to the iridium source (ACHILLES HEEL) Also aim for the pipes that connects to the base's defense or distributors. Remember doing this by yourself wont be effective.

3. After you shut down the base's defense (REMEMBER THERE IS YOUR FRIEND THERE WITH ARTILLERY AND CLOSE RANGE HEAVY WEAPONS) your friend takes down the spawn points and kills the crew. (WIN/ONE DOWN)

4. At this point you have failed the first 3 or you don't prefer the strategy. Build A Sky Bridge To The Enemy. yes. tower high up or go to one of the main island buildings and use bridges there. It'll be easy with a portable building barge and another player. That iridium antenna you've build is gonna be useful all the time.

5. After the bridge is built you will attack normally from above. The bridge will also be a good path for barges and iridium pipes. You can then freely attack the enemy and build anywhere you want now yaay. (WIN) (WARNING THE ENEMY WILL BE SHOOTING BE READY TO DEFEND AGAINST ARTILLERY SHOTS AND SNIPERS, USE YOUR PHANTOM FORCES SKILLS TO SNIPE THE ARTILLERY USERS WITH THAT BIG OL BFG 50 OF YOURS)

Ok this is a common thing in eclipsis but have you ever colonised all the base spires? nah. so in this strategy your only goal is to go lategame and take all the empty base you can see. the more the players the better. You will want to make a barge with tanks and autobuilders and with that you can use it to fly to other empty bases and just build turrets and walls and lots of tanks and stuff. you could actually put an iridium storage base with tanks everywhere and use pylons to connect them all. make sure your most important one are guarded with everything and keep an eye on your most important ones. you could also colonise the air using barges and anchors and then you could make motherships to destroy everything. you can prebuild the motherships so rhat you have nothing to lose. Also once you take down the enmy base, you could take over it by splicing their pipes to yours and leeching their iridium. speaking of leeching me and my friend made a strategy where you build a base under the enemy's and take their iridium. this is only possible when the enemy is away building a FOB while youre their stealing the goodies

.

TLDR take over empty spaces using barges and surround the enemy by building stuff to them and on islands.

anyways hope you like it and im too lazy for spelling n grammar k bye

Srsly defaultio a railgun isnt added to the game yet?

ok so railguns are handheld or placed down like artillery.

Irl railguns require tremendous amounts of electricity which makes in unreliable until a better source of electricity is invented but this is eclipsis where the whole planet can be made into infinite energy.

So handheld railguns needs a flip amount of energy and my idea is that it uses like 110 iridium per shot and it will 1 shot players at the torso or the head (Phantom forces reference) The handheld railgun cant consume regular iridium as energy because it needs electromagnets which means it needs a special type of distributor that fuels railgun users so that the railgun isnt too op. The railgun tho takes 8 seconds to charge and the recoil is so high that you get pushed back. The railgun is held like a minigun and it is big. The railgun can be made in a railgun manufacturer and it costs 2k irid to make and takes 3minutes to make. The railgun shoots iridium bullets that can destroy machinery but cant destroy walls and stuff

TLDR Handheld railgun, 2k iridium, super powerful, needs its own charge, really heavy

Mounted railguns

Compare lmg to mounted machine guns. you can buy a railgun stand and plug your handheld railgun in which makes it a bit faster to charge. This is good if youre on a skybase and you wont get recoiled off but using it on a barge will make it get flung but not as much as the arty.

TLDR2 railguns are like snipers and artillery combined

this makes up for the fact the map is larger

hope you like it

I call it, ZAP BOMBS! Similar to my cluster bombs but actually really good for taking out players. It consists of a med tank attached to a arc turret which then is dropped onto an enemy base. After bombing runs the bomb takes out players when touched. This thing can also be usd with turrets but different designs. Pictures included later

I have invented fireworks in eclipsis 5 months or so ago. It is made by placing down a small tank and reducing its health to critical. A friend then places 3 or less satchel charges on the low hp tank, followed by you spamming 10-50 of those.

As you hear your friend presses E(beep beep beep beeeeeep) you then wait a second then press E. After the tank explodes it will scatter the satchel charges everywhere. You could use the kamikaze barge strategy and will do most damage than a standard kamikaze barge. If you dont like dying(obviously) then you could hang the bomb over the edge of the barge using a damaged pipe so that you or a friend drops it over an enemy base (this technique requires weeks of training and is hard to master).

Another more easier way is to have 3 people. You will need a sacrifice and 2 people with satchels. This is the exact same way as the tank but the sacrifice is launched by a launch pad on a barge. It is better this way as the guy with the bombs can walk to the enemy pumps or main pipes which will shut down the base entirely(though explosives will easily counter it as well as turrets and miniguns).

OH YES DONT FORGET the laser drill toppler. The laser drill, oh yes, this thing literally eats through blocks of the map and making it disappear into oblivion. You can use a sneaky barge under the map while carrying a group of people with laser drills. With 1 person you can drill the pillar of a base in less than 30 seconds(counting the time it takes to pull the iridium from the ocean). This strategy is too overpowered early game as long as you have 600 iridium and a barge. The pillar gets drilled so quickly that the enemy has barely any time to react and place an anchor. It is really overpowered.

#NerfTheLaserDrill

Plant a cluster bomb under a barge or over or both and ignite it and explosions everywhere. If you dont know read my awesome tactics blog for cluster bombing.
